Question

Jackson buys 60 books at £3 each.

He sells 35 of these at £8 each and
the remainder at £4 each. What
percentage profit does he make
(give the answer to the nearest
whole number).

Answer 1

111%

Explanation:

£3 × 60 = £180

(35 × £8) + ( 25 × £4) = £380

£380 ‐ £180 = £200

200/180 × 100% = 111% (nearest whole number)
